碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 94 === The main focus of this research was to investigate: 1) the present levels of passion for activity found in senior high school G/T students, 2) senior high school G/T students’ passion for activity differences between gender, 3) the differences of senior high school G/T students’ passion for activity by groups, and 4) the differences between senior high school G/T students’passion for activity by activity type. 304 senior high school G/T students were selected as subjects.”The gifted senior high school students’ passion scale” was used to collect data from the test subjects. The 17 gifted students, recording the highest and lowest scores on ’The gifted senior high school students’ passion scale’ were interviewed for their passion for activity. The data gathered was processed by three-way ANOVA and the qualitative data was recorded as detailed dialogue. The main findings of this research are as follows: 1.The present levels of passion for activity in senior high school G/T students are high. Most students have greater passion for activities they enjoy. Senior high school gifted students like academic subject activities（19.74%） most, and dislike thinking(5.59%) and leisure (5.59%) activities the most. 2. The senior high school G/T students’passion for activity developed earlier from their kindergarten to elementary school periods, and was influenced by their parents, school curriculums, and innate interests. 3. Because senior high school G/T students’ passion for activity came from self determination, they were not associated with negative consequences. 4.Gender and group and activity style had significant correlation effects(p<.o5) .When selecting academic subject activities, musically talented girls recorded more significant passion for activity than literature talented girls(p<.05)； when selecting artistic creation activities, musically talented girls recorded more significant passion for activity than mathematical-logic gifted girls(p<.01) . Additionally, when comparing activities, mathematical-logic gifted girls recorded higher significant passion for activity for academic subjects compared to computer games(p<.05)；when selecting academic subject activities, musically talented girls recorded higher significant passion for activity for academic subjects over reading related activities (p<.01). Based on results from this research, it is suggested that 1) senior high school G/T students should be counseled in order to develop their passion for activity and 2) further research should be performed on this subject.
